At the Corridor Jazz Concert, we honored two local musicians and teachers who have had long and influential careers.

The family of John Shultz sponsored the appearance of the CR Washington High School Revolutionists. John was a legendary keyboardist and composer, with bands like Freeway and The Beaker Brothers, who passed away in 2018. He was a Washington alum.

Al Naylor has been a part of the Corridor Jazz Project since it’s very beginning. In fact, the concert arose from an event he founded while the band director at Linn-Mar. He was a guest artist for the Project five times, several of those times playing his own compositions. Many of his students have followed him into teaching and performing. One of those, Steve Shanley, joined Dennis Green in presenting Al with a plaque commemorating his involvement in the Corridor Jazz Project. 

Short List with host Bob Naujoks

Vocal Short List 16: Erin Bode

For nearly two decards, Midwesterner Erin Bode has quietly built a loyal audience and expanded her reach, both musically and in her fan base. She is now considered somewhat eclectic, as she sings not only jazz but some popular and folk music, as well. Not surprising, considering her musical upbringing included church choir, musical theatre, and some opera.
